Jesus the Name High Over All

Jesus! The name high over all,

In hell, or earth, or sky;

Angels and men before it fall,

And devils fear and fly,

And devils fear and fly.

Jesus! the name to sinners dear,

The name to sinners given;

It scatters all their guilty fear,

It turns their hell to heaven,

It turns their hell to heaven.

Jesus! the prisoners’ fetters breaks,

And bruises Satan’s head;

Power into strengthless souls it speaks,

And life into the dead,

And life into the dead.

O that the world might taste and see

The riches of His grace!

The arms of love that compass me

Would all mankind embrace,

Would all mankind embrace.

His only righteousness I show,

His saving grace proclaim;

’Tis all my business here below

To cry: ‘Behold the Lamb!’

To cry: ‘Behold the Lamb!’

Happy if with my latest breath

I might but gasp His name;

Preach Him to all, and cry in death:

‘Behold, behold the Lamb!’

‘Behold, behold the Lamb!’
